Episode Shorts: What Would Dying on Mars Be Like?

from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

Mars is located just outside the Sun's habitable zone. It lacks water and a magnetosphere, resulting in a very thin atmosphere. Primarily composed of carbon dioxide, the Martian 'air' means you would need to wear a spacesuit at all times to survive the harsh conditions.
